Exodus 7
1 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen ecce constitui te Deum Pharaonis Aaron frater tuus erit propheta tuus
And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.
2 tu loqueris omnia quae mando tibi ille loquetur ad Pharaonem ut dimittat filios Israhel de terra sua
Say whatever I give you orders to say: and Aaron your brother will give word to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 sed ego indurabo cor eius et multiplicabo signa et ostenta mea in terra Aegypti
And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and my signs and wonders will be increased in the land of Egypt.
4 et non audiet vos inmittamque manum meam super Aegyptum et educam exercitum et populum meum filios Israhel de terra Aegypti per iudicia maxima
But Pharaoh will not give ear to you, and I will put my hand on Egypt, and take my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt, after great punishments.
5 et scient Aegyptii quod ego sim Dominus qui extenderim manum meam super Aegyptum et eduxerim filios Israhel de medio eorum
And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when my hand is stretched out over Egypt, and I take the children of Israel out from among them.
6 fecit itaque Moses et Aaron sicut praeceperat Dominus ita egerunt
And Moses and Aaron did so: as the Lord gave them orders, so they did.
7 erat autem Moses octoginta annorum et Aaron octoginta trium quando locuti sunt ad Pharaonem
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they gave the Lord's word to Pharaoh.
8 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
9 cum dixerit vobis Pharao ostendite signa dices ad Aaron tolle virgam tuam et proice eam coram Pharao ac vertatur in colubrum
If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.
10 ingressi itaque Moses et Aaron ad Pharaonem fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus tulitque Aaron virgam coram Pharao et servis eius quae versa est in colubrum
Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.
11 vocavit autem Pharao sapientes et maleficos et fecerunt etiam ipsi per incantationes aegyptias et arcana quaedam similiter
Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.
12 proieceruntque singuli virgas suas quae versae sunt in dracones sed devoravit virga Aaron virgas eorum
For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods.
13 induratumque est cor Pharaonis et non audivit eos sicut praeceperat Dominus
But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
14 dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen ingravatum est cor Pharaonis non vult dimittere populum
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh's heart is unchanged; he will not let the people go.
15 vade ad eum mane ecce egredietur ad aquas et stabis in occursum eius super ripam fluminis et virgam quae conversa est in draconem tolles in manu tua
Go to Pharaoh in the morning; when he goes out to the water, you will be waiting for him by the edge of the Nile, with the rod which was turned into a snake in your hand;
16 dicesque ad eum Dominus Deus Hebraeorum misit me ad te dicens dimitte populum meum ut mihi sacrificet in deserto et usque ad praesens audire noluisti
And say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go so that they may give me worship in the waste land; but up to now you have not given ear to his words.
17 haec igitur dicit Dominus in hoc scies quod Dominus sim ecce percutiam virga quae in manu mea est aquam fluminis et vertetur in sanguinem
So the Lord says, By this you may be certain that I am the Lord; see, by the touch of this rod in my hand the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood;
18 pisces quoque qui sunt in fluvio morientur et conputrescent aquae et adfligentur Aegyptii bibentes aquam fluminis
And the fish in the Nile will come to destruction, and the river will send up a bad smell, and the Egyptians will not be able, for disgust, to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking.
19 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen dic ad Aaron tolle virgam tuam et extende manum tuam super aquas Aegypti et super fluvios eorum et rivos ac paludes et omnes lacus aquarum ut vertantur in sanguinem et sit cruor in omni terra Aegypti tam in ligneis vasis quam in saxeis
And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood; and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
20 feceruntque ita Moses et Aaron sicut praeceperat Dominus et elevans virgam percussit aquam fluminis coram Pharao et servis eius quae versa est in sanguinem
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had said; and when his rod had been lifted up and stretched out over the waters of the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, all the water in the Nile was turned to blood;
21 et pisces qui erant in flumine mortui sunt conputruitque fluvius et non poterant Aegyptii bibere aquam fluminis et fuit sanguis in tota terra Aegypti
And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking; and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.
22 feceruntque similiter malefici Aegyptiorum incantationibus suis et induratum est cor Pharaonis nec audivit eos sicut praeceperat Dominus
And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
23 avertitque se et ingressus est domum suam nec adposuit cor etiam hac vice
Then Pharaoh went into his house, and did not take even this to heart.
24 foderunt autem omnes Aegyptii per circuitum fluminis aquam ut biberent non enim poterant bibere de aqua fluminis
And all the Egyptians made holes round about the Nile to get drinking-water, for they were not able to make use of the Nile water.
25 impletique sunt septem dies postquam percussit Dominus fluvium
And seven days went past, after the Lord had put his hand on the Nile.
